Zhang Shusheng was one of the many poor people in this era who wanted to use the imperial examination to change their destiny.
However, Zhang Shusheng's reading talent is not as high as everyone imagined, and the ten years of hard study in the cold window are just "hard study".
Zhang Shusheng also knew this very well and felt deeply powerless.
However, his family's expectations forced him to bite the bullet and continue studying hard, and even chose to go to Beijing to take the exam this year.
It was during this process that Zhang Shusheng met Wu Gengfu, and with his encouragement, he regained his confidence and embarked on the road to Beijing to take the exam again.
Unfortunately, what he never expected was that his trip was interrupted as soon as he arrived in Changsha.
According to Zhang Shusheng's original plan, he planned to stay overnight in a nearby temple or Taoist temple, because these monks generally would not refuse a scholar's stay.
The previous plot development was indeed as Zhang Shusheng expected. He easily found a Taoist temple called Zhenyang Temple to stay overnight.
However, in the process, Zhang Shusheng was attracted by the Taoist Taoist priest, Miaoyu Zhenren, and invited him to rest in his mansion.
Naturally, Shusheng Zhang would not refuse this inexplicable luck.
On the contrary, whether he really fell in love with Master Miaoyu or simply wanted to see the collection of books in the Lu Mansion, Zhang Shusheng followed Master Miaoyu back to the Lu Mansion.
At the same time, following them back to the Lu Mansion was the Taoist Master of Zhenyang Temple, Zhenyang Taoist.
Then, what happened next made Zhang Shusheng, an outsider, feel a little baffled.
First, Master Miaoyu, who returned home, had a big quarrel with the old man of the Lu family.
Then that night, the daughter-in-law of the eldest young master of the Lu family died inexplicably.
For this reason, the affectionate eldest young man of the Lu family fell into a state of madness, constantly shouting that it was the old man of the Lu family who killed his daughter-in-law.
Instinctively aware that he seemed to be involved in some trouble, Zhang Shusheng immediately said that he would continue to go to Beijing to take the exam and that he might not be able to stay here for a long time.
Master Miaoyu did not refuse this, but enthusiastically prepared various luggage items for him.
This surprised Zhang Shusheng, but he also inevitably felt a little guilty.
So, in this guilty mood, Zhang Shusheng made a choice that he would regret for the rest of his life - he agreed to Miaoyu's request and was willing to leave after the first seven days of the Lu family's daughter-in-law.

"Then you saw ghosts?"
After learning what was going to happen next from Li Yanran, Pei Wende couldn't help but interrupt.
"Yes, that red-clothed fierce ghost came back on the day of his first seven days."
His words could not stop trembling. Even if Zhang Shusheng just recalled what happened that night, an uncontrollable fear would arise in his heart.
"I don't remember what happened next. I only know that when I woke up again, I was trapped in this ghost place."
Hearing this, before Pei Wende made any move, the little green snake beside him couldn't help but spit out the snake letter.
"hiss!"
Although the little green snake couldn't speak human words, Pei Wende still heard the meaning of its neighing.
"Well, it thinks you're hiding some important details, and it's looking down on you."
Looking at Zhang Shusheng's fearful and curious eyes, Pei Wende could only explain in a low voice.
"..."
As soon as these words came out, the scene fell into wordless silence.
"Okay! I am indeed a coward. I was actually frightened and fainted by the red-clothed ghost at that time."
Zhang Shusheng smiled helplessly, his expression at this moment was extremely embarrassing.
Zhang Shusheng also felt that his experience was actually quite embarrassing after he fainted from being frightened by a ghost and then was inexplicably imprisoned in this ghost land.
"Well...actually it's not too embarrassing."
Not knowing how to comfort the current Zhang Shusheng, Pei Wende hesitated for a moment and could only speak like this to ease the awkward atmosphere.
"After all, not everyone has the courage to face evil spirits."
"But what did you mean when you said you were imprisoned in this mansion?"
Faced with Pei Wende's prompt change of topic, Zhang Shusheng decided to tell the other party what was going on with the facts.
"It means literally, like this..."
While speaking, Zhang Shusheng slowly stretched his arm towards Pei Wende, and a look of painful struggle appeared on his face.
The next second, a scene that shocked Pei Wende happened.
Chi!
Along with the vision of flesh and bones melting, Zhang Shusheng's arm that stretched out the door first disappeared, and then reappeared completely inside the door.
In less than a second, Zhang Shusheng perfectly experienced the pain and regeneration process that was comparable to Ling Chi.
"this……"
Such an astonishing picture not only shocked Pei Wende, but also the well-informed little Green Snake was a little surprised by the horror of this weird sorcery.
"Did you see that?"
Big beads of sweat dripped down his face, and Shusheng Zhang, who was almost exhausted, said in his low and hoarse voice.
"If you are just being entrusted by others, I advise you not to ban this mansion."
No one can guarantee that Zhang Shusheng's current situation is an isolated case.
If Pei Wende was also trapped here after entering the mansion, then he would have completely lost hope of rescue.
And this is why Zhang Shusheng endured the pain and did not hesitate to show this scene to Pei Wende in his own words.
"I think I know."
After a brief silence, Pei Wende nodded to indicate that he roughly understood the other party's state.
"You don't have to worry about me, a mere ghost realm can't trap me."
After saying this, Pei Wende stepped into the door, and a strange wind blew from the courtyard to the outside.
"Namu Sa tie him up..."
The familiar voice of chanting sutras echoed in Zhang Shusheng's ears again.
But this time, he saw with his own eyes a glaze-colored Buddha's light flickering on Pei Wende's body, which deeply shocked his soul.
"Om Sanbaha..."
Under Pei Wende's chanting and Buddha's light, the aura of disaster and karma in the mansion dissipated at a speed visible to the naked eye.
Even a mortal like Zhang Shusheng who cannot see "Qi" can clearly feel the changes that have taken place in his body.
As for the little green snake, a spirit with spiritual vision?
I even saw with my own eyes that the gloomy miasma that was almost materialized rippled, and then quickly spread to the entire house with Pei Wende as the center.
This is the sound of scriptures recited with the power of vows, and it is also the psychic spell driven by Pei Wende's own beliefs.
The power of will is manifested, and grievances and obstacles are resolved.
Walking in Tampola increases blessings and drives away evil.
